Hello friends! I'm back after a wonderful weekend with my dads! Today I want to talk about being "Free" in God's Spirit".Last time we talked,my dog was missing.We found her in the neighbor's yard and she had crawled in a small hole in the fence but could not get back out! The neighbor was laughing and said"Anytime you lose her,look here first!I keep filling in the holes and dogs keep digging back into my yard!" What a relief that she was ok and nobody stole her from me! Thank You Jesus! In Lamentations 3:25 it says,"The Lord is good unto them that wait for him,to the soul that seeketh him." Ephesians 4:29 says"Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth,but that which is good to the use of edifying,that it may minister grace unto the hearers." When we ask for the Holy Spirit to guide us in our actions,we will be in God's Will,and not our own,and God will begin to speak through us in a way that will not offend others. Galations 5:22,23 says,"But the fruit of the Spirit is love,joy,peace,longsuffering,gentleness,goodness,faith,meekness,and temperance against such there is no law."
The love of God will reach people's hearts before anything else. 1Thessalonians 5:19 says "Quench not the spirit."The Holy Spirit can move in many different ways.And if we give the spirit control,where the spirit of the Lord is,there is liberty.
One of the most wonderful things I enjoy about a church who allows the spirit to be free,is that God is free to move and bless the way he desires,and not just what we as people ALLOW him to do.People need to stop trying to put God in a box and just let him move.And you will find that God does not always move exactly the same way every time.Sometimes you feel like shouting,dancing,clapping,and sometimes you just feel a peace and you cry,God does miraculous things when we just take the box from around him and stop limiting him on what we will accept and receive! It should never be about what name is over the door,Baptist,Pentecostal,Methodist,Assembly of God,we all have one thing in common,We believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins,was buried,resurected,and is now alive and well and working in each and every one of our lives! Let's stop the arguments over how we believe of certain things and just come together and praise God! When we get to Heaven there will not be signs that say,"Baptists go here,Methodists go here,Pentecostals go here..."We will all be there in one place together and we better start practicing now,because if we cannot get along down here,we may not make it up there!
We have got to stop thinking of what we have been taught,and give the Holy Spirit full control in our lives.
When I was in choir,I resigned after the first year.One day we were singing a song,I got so happy,that I was singing with all my heart and soul,and putting my all into it because I wanted the others to feel the joy I felt with me.The teacher told me I was getting too carried away,to sing quietly.I quit the choir that very year.People,when God's spirit comes over us,if we feel like getting loud,we should be free to do so!If we feel like being soft and peaceful,we should be free to do so.But if somebody is worshiping the Lord different than what another person thinks best,that should be ok,as long as they are following God's Spirit.That is what is important.Letting GOD'S spirit have full control!
If you have never experienced the Holy Spirit,ask the Lord to show it to you! I promise you that he will.And once you taste of his goodness,you will wonder how you ever survived without it! I hope everyone had a wonderful Father's Day and spent quality time with your earthly dads and your Heavenly Father.I love you all,God Bless,until next time,This is" Dr. Sunshine"signing off
